A ProcessWire module adding Mustache to the [TemplateEngineFactory](https://github.com/wanze/TemplateEngineFactory).

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- ProcessWire `3.0` or newer
- TemplateEngineFactory `2.0` or newer
- PHP `7.0` or newer
- Composer

> The `1.x` version of this module is available on the [1.x branch](https://github.com/blue-tomato/TemplateEngineMustache/tree/1.x). Use this version if you still use *TemplateEngineFactory* `1.x`.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Execute the following command in the root directory of your ProcessWire installation:

```
composer require blue-tomato/template-engine-mustache:^2.0

```

This will install the *TemplateEngineMustache* and *TemplateEngineFactory* modules in one step. Afterwards, don't forget to enable Mustache as engine in the *TemplateEngineFactory* module's configuration.

> ℹ️ This module includes test dependencies. If you are installing on production with `composer install`, make sure to pass the `--no-dev` flag to omit autoloading any unnecessary test dependencies!.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

The module offers the following configuration:

- **`Template files suffix`** The suffix of the Twig template files, defaults to `mustache`.
- **`Provide ProcessWire API variables in Mustache templates`** API variables (`$pages`, `$input`, `$config`...) are accessible in Twig, e.g. `{{ config }}` for the config API variable.
- **`Debug`** If enabled, Mustache outputs debug information.

Extending Mustache
------------------

[](#extending-mustache)

It is possible to extend Mustache after it has been initialized by the module. Hook the method `TemplateEngineMustache::initMustache`to register custom functions, extensions, global variables, filters etc.

Here is an example how you can use the provided hook to attach a custom function.

```
wire()->addHookAfter('TemplateEngineMustache::initMustache', function (HookEvent $event) {
    /** @var \Mustache_Engine $mustache */
    $mustache = $event->arguments('mustache');

    $mustache->setHelpers([
			'myHelperFunction' => function($text) {
				return trim($text);
			}
		]);
});

// ... and then use it anywhere in a Mustache template:

{{#myHelperFunction}} {{someVariable}} {{/myHelperFunction}}
```

> The above hook can be put in your `site/init.php` file. If you prefer to use modules, put it into the module's `init()`method and make sure that the module is auto loaded.
